Chapter 6 - Determination and A New Authority (Civil War)
Oct. 2022 – Mar. 2024
The Beginning of the Conflict
Before the Storm
Chapter 6 began with a major push of development. The Theme Park fully reopened after its overhaul, a new Theme Park reactor project was started by Hudson and IJ, the FI Hotel was completed, and most importantly, Blakewood Forest Rakegame was completed just in time for the 10 Year Anniversary.
The anniversary also marked the beginning of a series of special events and projects celebrating Redstoneworld’s history.
Growing tensions
During the anniversary period, tensions surrounding Tower 2 reached a serious point with development being forcibly stunted by the incompetent build manager. IJ stepped away from the area for the time being and instead focused heavily on the Founding Island Bunker together with Voidkiller throughout much of early 2023.
At the same time, Sean helped IJ finish the remaining work of The Great Merge. With his main responsibilities largely fulfilled, Sean gradually became more of a retired figure within the project.
Taking back the Towers
A new connection
As the summer approached, Hudson began looking for ways to make Redstoneworld operate as a 24/7 server.
Around the same period, Chambo returned from a short hiatus and began working with IJ on a bridge extending from Tower 1 toward the sea. The bridge was planned to contain shops and eventually provide a connection toward Tower 2.
This became an important sign that development around the newer towers could move forward again, and Void and Ij started scheming their return.
Tower 2 development
IJ, Chambo, Voidkiller, and Hudson increasingly worked together to change the management situation surrounding Tower 2. This eventually developed into a series of planned actions under a newly formed Anti-Council Coalition (ACC).
Tower 2 itself began receiving serious development again. By the end of 2023, its floors were either completed or had been fully planned out, turning it from a mostly stalled project into one of the more active areas of Redstoneworld.

The Anti-Council Coalition
The growing disagreements over management, Tower 2, and loyalty eventually developed into what became known as the Civil War period of Redstoneworld.
The conflict was primarily organizational, but there were some ingame aspects as well. Different groups within the project had increasingly different views on how certain parts of Redstoneworld should be managed and developed.
The newly formed ACC became an important part of this period, with its members working together to change the existing balance of power.
The 11 Year Anniversary
Tower 3.0
By the end of 2023, development had expanded beyond Tower 2. Tower 3.0 was started for the 11 Year Anniversary by IJ, Emil, and TSG.
This continued the renewed focus on the tower projects and gave Redstoneworld another major construction project while the organizational conflicts of the chapter were still being resolved.
Tower 2 and Tower 3.0 would now be grouped as their own sector, the Redstone Tower Complex (RTC) Sector. Tower 2 was the first to be marked as such on October 20th, 2013
The Abyss
The period from January 2024 to the end of Chapter 6 in April is known as The Abyss with weekly activity dropping to the lowest since pre-Chapter 5 levels. There were about four dedicated members and there was some noteworthy progress on the RTC. All contributions in this time were made by Ij, Emil, TSG, and Bri on a secret alt account. On Tower 2, Ij and Emil would finish out the whole RTC Penthouse, while also starting the Industry Complex in Tower 3.0, TSG would also add the RTC Bunker adjacent to it. The second RTC Courtyard was finished, with Ij and Bri dedicating it to their relationship, which would be put back into place again two years later.
Come late march, it seemed like the project may be dying completely, thankfully this would reverse course rapidly in May after Hudson made hardware upgrades for the 24/7 server.
Legacy
Determination after the conflict
Chapter 6 was one of the most turbulent periods in Redstoneworld’s history. At the same time, it was also a period of substantial development, with the Theme Park reopening, the FI Hotel and Rakegame being completed, the FI Bunker receiving extensive work, and Tower 2 finally moving forward.
By the end of the chapter, Redstoneworld had gone through a major internal conflict but had also developed a stronger direction for its newer projects. The foundations were now in place for the growth that would define Chapter 7.
